Re: Round 9 vs Gold Coast Titans
Weird game. Way too many missed tackles from the Storm. Turning point was when Wishart and Munster butchered that try right on half-time. Can’t really afford to play Wishart in the back-three again. He really isn’t suited to those positions. Thought the Titans had some really bad calls against them ...

Re: Round 7 vs Sydney Roosters
With the press conferences do the coaches choose which members of the press they have in the knowledge that they will ask "friendly" questions? I thought the media wanted sensationalism, their were a few more juicy questions that could've been asked, ie. "So James, what did you think...

Re: Round 7 vs Sydney Roosters
No game this year is going to be a gimme based off these results.
But geez… You’d think with the Rabbitohs, Titans, Sharks and Eels in the next four weeks the guys could go 8-1 or at worst 6-3. Pretty outstanding considering the strength of opposition to open the season.

Re: Round 7 vs Sydney Roosters
This season has aged me 30 years and it’s only round seven.

Re: Round 7 vs Sydney Roosters
Also, Andrew Voss is a dribbler. Just noting what people probably already knew. Spouts utter nonsense.

Re: Round 7 vs Sydney Roosters
Weird first-half. I think some of the passing has been a bit erratic. Katoa and Papenhuyzen have had a few moments which probably should have been finished off. That goal-line defence to finish the half was outstanding though. Going to need more from the pack once the Roosters starting forwards and ...

Re: Round 6 vs Bulldogs
Anyone else think Welch might be back? I think he’s looked outstanding. He was really important tonight the second the forward rotation got messed up (remembering MacDonald went off for a HIA). He might not quite be at his pre-injury level in 2022 but I don’t think he’s far off. We’re seeing him sta...

Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
Brisbane ..... and early kicks which caused a lot of trouble. I think that’s why the wingers got caught out a bit as it’s against what they typically face. Why oh why don't we do this, and, thank God more teams don't do it against us. Put yourself on the wing, and your inside man from there, do you...

Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
Looking back on this - I think a lot of people are getting swept up in the outs for Brisbane. Have to remember: wins at this time of the year are so important for the big sides (like Brisbane and Penrith, Roosters, Cowboys) due to the rep period. That’s a huge win to have under the belt because like...

Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
Also - adding to the weirdness of this game: the Storm only missed 19 tackles. Felt like they missed about 50.

Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
Don’t even know what to make of that. It was such a strange game. We were punished for not shutting down plays when we should have. Letting the ball bounce, poor positioning, and the bounce of the ball rarely fell our way. You make your own luck most of the time however and you more often than not,...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights
Can probably take something out of that. Effort was there - handling was just off and defence was a bit sloppy. I think the late shuffling of the edges (including Smith going off) really made things difficult. Halves were pretty bad. Passing was off. I think Wishart’s very good but he’s more of a ru...

Too many players running sideways. Run straight. Forward.

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
Credit has to be given to Loiero too.
Led the pack with 155 metres. Had a heavy involvement and played 70 minutes in the middle.
He would’ve taken an extra workload after Welch was ruled out with a concussion after just managing 11 minutes.

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
That was unbelievable. The guys has absolutely no business winning that. Although they’ve had their ups and downs this win really shows why Bellamy has instilled so much confidence in Coates and Papenhuyzen. They’re match-winners. Where do we rank that in the club’s comeback wins with seconds to go?...
